Ooh my sister is really into this.

She diagnosed me as INTJ.

Key points are:

• Perfectionist
• Imagination with reliability
• Taking on management duties, even if it's not their job
• Little patience for small talk and flirting; unable to grasp social rituals
• Think like a scientist, even in matters that don't involve science

*heh* thanks for the h/t, hthth.

The answer, as you know, is no. As I mentioned in the article, here are my stats.

Extroverted (E) 60.53% Introverted (I) 39.47%
Intuitive (N) 60.53% Sensing (S) 39.47%
Thinking (T) 55.56% Feeling (F) 44.44%
Perceiving (P) 54.55% Judging (J) 45.45%

This puts me as an ENTP, but just barely. In fact, the first time I took the test I came out as an ENFP, and judging by the proximity of the scores, I'm certainly Extroverted and Intuitive, but I'm on the fence about being Thinking/Feeling, Perceiving/Judging.

Anyway, to restate the answer, the answer's a definite "no". I'm by no means a party person; in fact, I prefer to spend time alone for the most part. But definitely not an introvert.

I've taken this before and I believe have come out the same I remember because I am always hoping to come out differently.

I disagree with the self centered, manipulative part of course. Otherwise it is not far from truth.

Extroverted (E) 51.22% Introverted (I) 48.78%
Intuitive (N) 59.52% Sensing (S) 40.48%
Thinking (T) 72.97% Feeling (F) 27.03%
Judging (J) 58.82% Perceiving (P) 41.18%

Considering I was a photography major at Tisch, then decided to also get a degree in anthropology, and will do grad work in international affairs in public policy this is pretty accurate. Maybe people need to take this before they go to college.

I got bored of the survey 1/3 in.. I guess my type is ADD

INFP/Introverted Intellectual...

Introverted (I) 58.33% Extroverted (E) 41.67%
Intuitive (N) 57.14% Sensing (S) 42.86%
Feeling (F) 55% Thinking (T) 45%
Perceiving (P) 63.16% Judging (J) 36.84%

I only match approx. 4.4% of the population.

I clicked the link to find out omore about my type and almost everything on the list matched a characteristic of me.

Nope, not an introvert.

I didn't take the test but only because I've taken the Myers-Briggs a few times now. I'd be curious to see if I still measure up so I'll probably take it after I post this note. :)

But I've always been an ENTP (Extroverted, iNtuitive, Thinking, Perceiver). I would have to guess that I am very much on the P side--opposite the Judging side. Indeed, I am very much unstructured. And very disorganized! I have also always been largely extroverted. I know that whether you're introverted or extroverted change up the dominance of your second letter somehow.

Intuitive vs. Sensor, though, have always been very borderline. I've been a good deal more thinking than feeling but I'm starting to think this might be the most dramatic change in recent months.

For the most part, I've usually agreed with the "ENTP" diagnosis. Including something I read once to describe the personality: "May be unable to perform simple tasks." Haha!

So I'll go take the test again now. :)

Edit:

(I find the last "personality adjective" hilarious.)

Also, hthth, I thought that was a very accurate diagnosis for you. :)

Hehehehe.

Haha. Actually, I'm amazed I got through it myself considering how many I've been answering lately. Recently registered on FaceBook and man, answering all the quizzes people send you is a full time job! It RAINS quizzes there.

@estarla

Haha. Then my person shines through what I write online; when I read that description I was flabbergasted. It rang so true.

So... let's throw a party. You got the green stuff, right?

INFJ - "Author". Strong drive and enjoyment to help others. Complex personality. 1.5% of total population.

Introverted (I) 70.59% Extroverted (E) 29.41%

Judging (J) 57.58% Perceiving (P) 42.42%

I guess I can see that.

I'm INFP...

Introverted (I) 64.71% Extroverted (E) 35.29%
Intuitive (N) 54.55% Sensing (S) 45.45%
Feeling (F) 52.78% Thinking (T) 47.22%
Perceiving (P) 65.71% Judging (J) 34.29%

I lol'd at some of the descriptions...prone to lateness, check. Frequently losing things, check. Disorganized, check. I'm definitely those three!

I should be pretty emo and quite weird too by the description...though I don't think I am.

@SmileyFreak1981: YOu'll find that a lot of the time you have to take a look at the ones you're on the fence on to. For example, in your case, you may also be INTP, or even ISFP, or ISTP. Take a look at those descriptions and see if you can cobble something together that's more "you". Remember that even Jung -- inventor of the test -- didn't use this as a strict guideline, per se, only as an indicator of trends.

I should be pretty emo and quite weird too by the description...though I don't think I am.

Well, and I'm Just pointing out the obvious here, but you do call yourself a smiley freak ;)

Last 3 times I've taken the test I've been a hardcore INFP.
I'll take it again later on and see if that's changed. :)

INTJ. We have the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability. Hmmm... is that really unusual?

I keep thinking 'evil mastermind' when I see that lol. I guess it is me and also isn't not really as introverted as it put me but hey ho.

karmatosed,

I thought evil mastermind too. My in-company title is "evil genius." Of course that's not on the business card, but it's fun in house.

I feel I should get a mustache to twirl or master plan or something now..... ;)

Yeah, we could come up with a superhero group. The Architect, The Author, The Mastermind, The Questor and The Fieldmarshall.

I wonder who came up with these names.

Perhaps Myers... or Briggs.
Jung was kinda kooky maybe it was his doing.

I blame Freud - you have to at some point in all discussions about psychology.... or at least you did when I was studying it.
